Upon hearing this, Zhen Duoqian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Wanwan excitedly.
“My dear niece is absolutely right! Scholars need this kind of refreshing stuff the most. If Wanhuofang launches this mosquito coil, it will definitely sell like hotcakes.” Zhen Duoqian’s mouth stretched to the back of his ears.
At that time, many families will surely scramble to buy them, whether they are ordinary or wealthy. If there is a scholar in the family, they will always buy mosquito coils from their own shop.
Hehe, if someone were to pass the imperial examinations and become a scholar, a high-ranking official, or even a government official, wouldn't Wanhuofang become a well-known general store?
Zhen Duoqian became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't wait to put this mosquito on the shelves and sell it in the store.
He stormed out and returned a moment later, carrying a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. "Niece, let's hurry and write the contract! I need to buy these mosquito coils!!"
Not only that, I want to sign a six-month contract with you. During these six months, you will deliver goods to me twice a month: 5,000 rolls of regular scented mosquito coils and 2,000—no, 3,000 rolls of mint-scented mosquito coils—to the Wanhuofang store each time.
"By the way, how much are these mint-scented mosquito coils? How much is a roll?"
Since it's associated with scholars, it must be very expensive, Zhen Duoqian thought with some trepidation.
"Six coins a roll," Jiang Wanwan said with a smile, making a six-pointed hand gesture.
Zhen Duoqian breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the price was not expensive at all. So, he hurriedly urged Jiang Wanwan to write the contract so that she could sign and affix her seal as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happen.
Jiang Wanwan picked up her pen and wrote down all the terms they had agreed on. Zhen Duoqian still insisted that Jiang Wanwan could only sell him the mint-scented mosquito coils in Anyang County, and not to any other shops.
Jiang Wanwan naturally had no objection to this.
Furthermore, Jiang Wanwan also required a 20% deposit each time, with the balance to be settled upon delivery to the store, and no delays in payment were allowed.
Zhen Duoqian stated that there was absolutely no problem with this matter.
So the two happily signed and sealed the document.
After signing the papers, Zhen Duoqian readily paid Jiang Wanwan an eight-tael deposit.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Wanwan got up and said goodbye, "Uncle Zhen, I have some things to do in the county town today, and it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
Zhen Duoqian also stood up and tried his best to persuade her to stay, "Niece, it's almost lunchtime. Let's go to the restaurant for a meal together."
Jiang Wanwan waved her hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhen, I will come to deliver goods to you often in the future. Are you worried about missing this meal? I really have important things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
"Alright, in that case, I won't keep my niece any longer."
Zhen Duoqian saw Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Erbo, and Jiang Xun off at the entrance of Wanhuofang.
Seeing the oxcart tied up at the gate, Jiang Wanwan realized that it hadn't been properly secured. She was going to go shopping later and buy some things, and taking the oxcart along would be inconvenient; she needed to get it settled first.
Jiang Wanwan paused, turned her head and asked Zhen Duoqian, "Uncle Zhen, I wonder if my oxcart could be parked here with you for the time being?"
“No problem, the shop has a backyard. I’ll have the shop’s servants help my niece settle in in a bit, so you can rest assured,” Zhen Duoqian said readily.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhen." Jiang Wanwan bowed in thanks. "Then we'll go take care of our business first."
